Lecturer (Teaching & Research) - Computing

The School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences (EECMS) was formed in 2018 and brings together Curtin’s core capabilities across electrical engineering, computing, physics and mathematics, to better understand and advance our data-driven world.
EECMS teaches practically oriented undergraduate courses that are highly regarded by industry and has a vibrant research culture. In particular it is home to a number of research institutes and centres including the Curtin Institute of Computation, the Curtin Institute for Radio Astronomy, the Curtin-led ARC Industrial Training Centre for Transforming Maintenance through Data Science, the Curtin-CISCO Centre for Networks and the Curtin-Optus Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence, all of which have a requirement for engaging with computing researchers.

Computing

As the IT industry changes, product-specific skills can quickly become obsolete. The focus of our computing courses is to convey fundamental knowledge and skills to our students, to help them become life-long learners and build sustainable careers.

Our courses are based on the curricula recommendations of two respected professional IT associations: IEEE Computer Society and the Association for Computing Machinery. The courses are developed in consultation with an industry advisory board representing the IT industry, and are accredited by the Australian Computer Society.

These courses are backed by our strong research capabilities across artificial intelligence, cyber security, large-scale pattern recognition, robotics and automation, big data and software engineering.
